Is there any automated possibility to check the formatting codes (as my customer called them) - which I mean should be TAGs?

We have translated a document and send it to the customer, who told me now to verify those codes and I would appreciate, if it goes automatically. I do not have a full version of Transit.

Also, it doesn't like some characters such as straight quotation marks (") and a few others.

In sum, it seems to me that Transit does not check that the translation has the same tags as the source document (like e.g. DVX would do); instead, it checks whether the tags in the translation are "well-formed" by Transit's own criteria.

Extras / Formatierungscodes prüfen Jan 20, 2006

The function is available in the Extras menu. In my German user interface it's called "Formatierungscodes prüfen".

Go to the menu Jan 22, 2006

Options/Check Formatting Codes/Settings first. Check there "Leading blanks", "Trailing blanks", "Numbers", "From cursor position" and then click the Start button.
